About This Quiz

The Harry Potter series has pleased fans for years, and with the release of the "Fantastic Beasts" series, it doesn't look as though it will ever let up. J.K. Rowling has created the ultimate universe with a rich history and educational structure that will keep the stories coming for generations. While many of us love the books more than any other version, the movies are what really draw people in. And once people start watching the movies they fall in love with the characters. We can spot a character from a simple description; we know each character's hopes and dreams, and we know whether or not the character is a bad guy or a good guy. Additionally, we know what their facial expressions mean, how they look when their face rests and what they look like when they're casting a spell.

You probably could name every character from the Harry Potter movie and book series, but do you think you can figure out who's who if their eyebrows are missing? This is a Harry Potter identification quiz with a twist. We want to see just how much of a Potterhead you really are. Take this quiz to see if you can spot your favorite Harry Potter characters without their eyebrows.

He's known for his half-moon spectacles, but can you identify him without any eyebrows?

Professor Dumbledore

Professor Snape

Professor Slughorn

Fred Weasley

Professor Dumbledore was played by two different actors, but few noticed or cared too much about the actor switch, as this was Harry's go-to man when it came to all of the strange things that had to do with the magical world.

Warner Bros. Pictures / Heyday Films / 1492 Pictures

Who was Harry's uncle in the movies?

Severus Snape

Dudley

Dobby

Vernon

When you really think about it, Uncle Vernon was one of the most evil characters in the series. Sure, he only wanted a sense of normalcy, but in the end, he was basically the direct opposite of Voldemort, making him just as evil.

Warner Bros. Pictures / Heyday Films

Which young character was Harry's nemesis in school?

Ron Weasley

Draco Malfoy

Gellert Grindelwald

Rubeus Hagrid

Draco Malfoy wasn't born a bad person, he was just born into a bad family. It wasn't his fault that he wanted to impress his dad by being evil and attempting to kill Dumbledore. It was his pride.

Warner Bros. Pictures / Heyday Films

Can you name this professor without his eyebrows?

Professor Flitwick

Professor Snape

Professor Sprout

Professor Umbridge

What we learn about Severus Snape in the later installments of the series helps us to understand his actions throughout the earlier books and movies. The fact that Harry named his son after Snape shows how the student's attitude about the teacher evolved.

Can you name this Harry Potter villain who loved the color pink?

Voldemort

Firenz

Professor Umbridge

Rubeus Hagrid

Rubeus Hagrid

Albus Dumbledore

Warner Bros. Pictures / Heyday Films

Who is this odd character everyone makes fun of?

Neville Longbottom

Seamus Finnegan

Luna Lovegood

Ginny Weasley

Luna Lovegood is a social outcast throughout the series, but when you look closer at her, she is an exceptional witch with intelligence that rivals Hermione's. It just goes to show that you can't judge a book by its cover, or a Harry Potter character by her eyebrows.

Warner Bros. Pictures / Heyday Films / 1492 Pictures

Can you name this character who came of age while he was working on the movies?

Professor Sprout

Harry Potter

Fred Weasley

Neville Longbottom

We all know Neville as the boy who seemed to always get in trouble, and not from his own doing. He gets set up with a wonky broom and the Cornish pixies attack him. He just can't catch a break.

Warner Bros. Pictures / Heyday Films

This character can change her face and hair color whenever she wants. What's her name?

Hermione Granger

Warner Bros. Pictures / Heyday Films

Who is this bright witch who knows quite a bit about everything?

Luna Lovegood

Remus Lupin

Nagini

Hermione Granger

Warner Bros. Pictures / Heyday Films

She was a powerful witch and the girl Harry fell in love with. Who is she?

Hermione Granger

Ginny Weasley

Bellatrix Lestrange

When we first meet Ginny Weasley, she is skittish and shy, but we later learn that that's only because she likes Harry. When she no longer has a crush on Harry, she becomes a strong, independent character who Harry dates.

Warner Bros. Pictures / Heyday Films / 1492 Pictures

Do you remember which Hogwarts professor can turn into a cat?

Professor McGonagall

Warner Bros. Pictures / Heyday Films

This character killed Sirius Black and had wild hair. Who is it?

Delores Umbridge

Kreacher

Who was Ron in love with in the fourth movie?

Fleur Delacour

Hedwig

Hermione Granger

Rita Skeeter

In the books, we learn that Fleur Delacour has some Veela in her blood. The Veela is a human-like female creature that can attract men. Of course, this really doesn't translate well in the movies, so it was left out.

Warner Bros. Pictures / Heyday Films / 1492 Pictures

Which character from Harry Potter makes wands?

Grenwick

Ollivander

Do you remember this character who had no magical powers, but worked at Hogwarts?

Argus Filch

Walder Frey

Warner Bros. Pictures / Heyday Films

Can you identify this character who wrote for the Daily Prophet?

Who was the Quidditch referee in the first movie?

Warner Bros. Pictures / Heyday Films

Can you name this Minister of Magic without his eyebrows?

Albus Dumbledore

Arthur Weasley

Lucius Malfoy

Natalie Malfoy

Severus Malfoy

Narcissa Malfoy

Warner Bros. Pictures / Heyday Films / 1492 Pictures

We took this character's eyebrows away. Do you think you know who he is?

Arthur Weasley

Voldemort

Who is this character who is missing an eye and a leg?

Argus Filch

Dudley Dursley

Alastor Moody

Barty Crouch Sr.

Barty Crouch Jr.

Warner Bros. Pictures / Heyday Films

What is the name of this Gryffindor who had a penchant for blowing things up?

Filius Flitwick

This character is the commentator for the Quidditch matches. Who is he?

Gregory Goyle

Fenrir Greyback

Igor Karkaroff

Who teaches Harry how to play Quidditch?

Oliver Wood

Myrtle Warren

Bill Weasley

Can you identify this Weasley mom without her eyebrows?

Ginny Weasley

She only made an appearance in one movie, but can you identify her without her eyebrows?

Marge Dursley

Petunia Dursley

Dawlish

Bartemius Crouch Jr.

Warner Bros. UK Services Ltd. / Heyday Films

Which auror is this?

Percy Weasley

Kingsley Shacklebolt

Lee Jordan

Alastor Moody

At first, Kingsley Shacklebolt seems like a scary dude, but we soon learn that he is pretty laid back, and he is one heck of an auror. He does his job well, and he's a member of the Order of the Phoenix.

Warner Bros. Pictures / Heyday Films / 1492 Pictures

What is the name of this terrible Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher?
